Vietnam Financial Forum 2026 to be held in Da Nang this July
More than 350 policymakers, representatives of international financial institutions, business leaders and fintech innovators are expected to gather in the central city of Da Nang for the Vietnam Financial Forum 2026 (VFF 2026), scheduled for July 9–10.
The high-level forum will serve as a platform for in-depth discussions on key issues shaping Vietnam's financial sector, including capital market modernisation, digital finance, financial infrastructure, sustainable investment and venture capital.
Organisers said the event comes at a crucial time as Vietnam accelerates economic transformation and seeks to strengthen its position as a regional financial hub. The forum is expected to help bridge policy and market practice. It is also seen as an opportunity for Da Nang to promote its ambition of becoming a regional centre for financial innovation, international investment and public – private partnerships.
Rich McClellan, CEO of the Vietnam International Financial Centre in Ho Chi Minh City (VIFC HCMC), noted that the forum is designed as a private sector-led platform where regulators, market operators, investors and technology firms can work together on practical solutions.
He hoped that the discussions will help Vietnam turn its macro-goals into concrete actions to support the development of internationally connected financial centres.
Chris Vanloon, chairman of the Central Vietnam Business Alliance, described the timing of the forum as significant as Vietnam seeks to strengthen its role in the regional financial landscape.
He shared that the event will go beyond a traditional conference by providing a venue for participants to exchange practical experience, build trust and explore how the financial system can better support the real economy.
According to the organising committee, the two-day forum will feature a packed agenda of keynote sessions and parallel discussions, with participants expected to propose practical recommendations for building a modern, transparent and sustainable financial ecosystem in Vietnam.
